We may not be able to make you love reading, but archaeology of knowledge will lead you to love reading starting from now. Book is the window to open the new world. The world that you want is in the better stage and level. World will always guide you to even the prestige stage of the life. You know, this is some of how reading will give you the kindness. In this case, more books you read more knowledge you know, but it can mean also the bore is full.

Structural racism and health inequities in the USA: evidence and interventions

Culture and Imperialism

While the idea that war can prompt, or at least accelerate, change in medicine has become an historical commonplace, we still know little about the medical impact of World War II. In order to gauge how Australian involvement in World War II shaped postwar medical research and practice, I examine the wartime experiences and later careers of four medical scientists: E.V. ‘Bill’ Keogh; Ian J. Wood; Frank Fenner; and F. Macfarlane Burnet. I try to assay how the war changed their expectations and activities—and how it may even have etched their characters. The essay describes increasing interest in prospects for clinical research; the shift toward the United States as an organisational model; and the development of enduring male military camaraderie among some of these medicos.

The Whiteness of Bioethics

Assembling Planetary Health: Histories of the Future

In the 1920s and 1930s, the Mestizos of Kisar, a dry, almost barren island in the Dutch East Indies off the coast of East Timor, were a model for the study of race mixing or human hybridity. Discovered in the late nineteenth century, these ‘anomalous blondes’ of Dutch and Kisarese ancestry became subjects of intense scrutiny by physical anthropologists. As a German specialist in tropical medicine in search of a convenient empire after 1918, Ernst Rodenwaldt favourably evaluated the physique and mentality of the isolated, fair Mestizos in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). Back in Germany in the 1930s, as professor of hygiene at Heidelberg, his views on race hardened to accord with Nazi doctrine. Yet after the war, Rodenwaldt successfully cited his earlier appreciation of mixed-race peoples in the eastern Malay Archipelago as grounds for rehabilitation. Once a celebrated case study in human hybridity, the Mestizos of Kisar were erased from anthropological discussion in the 1950s, when race mixing ceased to be a biological issue and became instead a sociological interest. Still, Rodenwaldt's work continues to exert some limited influence in the eastern parts of the archipelago and among the Kisarese diaspora, indicating the penetrance and resilience of colonial racialisation projects.
